Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
At some point I connected the Virgin Birth with what it actually meant to be a virgin, but no one actually told us. Also, I thought Joseph married Mary anyway, even though it seemed like she was pregnant with another man's child, because he believed her that it was the son of God?
How bout that Immaculate Conception bit... way to be confusing!
They should sell a bible with a cover picture of hot biblical chicks armed with bloody knives and stakes.
OK, maybe not. But I bet it would sell well. Those Christians who believe Jesus will bring you lots of money might like it.
Speaking of Isaac, we did a lot of skits (see above re: half assed), and at some point, we got to pick what we were doing, and someone got the bright idea to do the sacrifice of Isaac, and went running into the kitchen (next to the room we were in) for a big knife. Good times.
Snerk. In a Passover play, the year I was in kindergarten, I played a frog. Frog is a good part when you're six -- you get to jump all over the stage, and you don't have to remember any lines except "ribbit." I'm trying to remember what they did for some of the gorier plagues in that play, but I can't remember any of it.
of Yael driving a stake through Barak's head.
Ok, now that just sounds like a quote from a David Eddings novel.
Also, I thought Joseph married Mary anyway, even though it seemed like she was pregnant with another man's child, because he believed her that it was the son of God?
That's what I thought. Didn't Joseph try to break off the engagement, and then an angel (Gabriel?) tell Joseph the sitch?
tommy have you SEEN the new "hip" Bible? Some...Nordic type folk made it and it's very too cutting edge.
Ooh, and oh yeah, Esther! Esther FASCINATED me for about 2 months when I was about 9. Esther was freaking hot in my illustrated Child's Bible, and I wanted all her cool clothes and jewelry.
You would have loved Purim. A whole holiday celebrating Esther, where little girls usually dress up like her. Plus, at many synagogues, a carnival where kids can win useless plastic junk!
Thanks for the answers, guys. So, kind of glossed over as little kids, and pick it up somewhere along the way to teenagedom, it seems?
Ooh - a painting!
Who's the chick helping her?
tommy have you SEEN the new "hip" Bible?
Nope. The hippest Bible I've seen is "Good News for Modern Man".
Who's the chick helping her?
Her servant. I don't think she has a name. But that's how you can tell the difference between paintings of Judith and paintings of Yael -- Judith has a servant, and Yael doesn't.
